My daddy strongest

Having read so many father - daughter quotes of late, the most on - my - face example of it came through when my husband and I took our toddler out for a stroll.. Now my daughter got a balloon from somewhere, and got so fond of it that she kept holding it the entire time - 3hrs to be precise.. Now just as we were about to cross a road, she lost the grip and it flew off on the busy road..  Pravin my husband ran and somehow got back the balloon, despite angry honks from the passerby cars..  When my daughter saw this, she enjoyed it so much that after some time, she threw the balloon yet again, and looked at us for a reaction.. I got angry at her attitude and asked Pravin not to fetch it again..  But before I completed my banter, he was at it again..  I kept telling him how we will spoil her eventually if this attitude continues and its long term effects.. But quite oblivious to what I or the world felt that time, the father daughter duo continued their game - she kept throwing her balloon, and Pravin kept running behind it and fetching it again, be it from a dangerous slope or a private, restricted property...
It took me a while to actually notice her giggles every time he brought back the balloon for her, and the high he got from it..  And to actually make sense out of it, I had to go back to MY relationship with my dad..  The One moment when I came out of the operation theatre after I delivered my baby, to find that everyone - even my mom and my husband, had left with the baby who had come out of the OT couple of minutes back.  The only person waiting outside - was my dad..  I was, and will always be his princess, just like this naughty little balloon throwing piece of crazyness - she will always be my husband's princess, to my eternal jealousy and her eternal delight ...  Love you papa..
